collaborative intelligence

Much is made of teams these days, and rightfully so: they are the backbone of putting in place distributed leadership in organizations. New research offers a very straightforward hypothesis consisting of 3 parts: teams comprise different developmental levels, thus are “developmentally mixed” teams ‘think’: their work is based on analyzable and coachable movements-in-thought teams follow… [Read More]

For the longest time, teams have been managed, as well as researched, based exclusively on behaviorist tenets: the notion that by focusing on how team members “behave”, their collaboration can be made more effective, even ‘self authoring’, or whatever the latest fad dictated.

As a developmentally schooled consultant and coach are you still on the social-emotional triumphalism train that foregoes or neglects strictly cognitive tools such as provided by Laske's DTF? If so, look at https://t.co/SuRaDRlBqi #idmcdf @jandevisch especially for team work

That's precisely the issue. And the deeper issue of collaborative intelligence are your own since you need to be self-organized yourself (i.e., developed emotionally and cognitively) to set an example. #idmcdf
